When do you have open lanes?
We have open lanes every day. Our main league days are on Monday and Wednesday, which will reduce the amount of time we have for open bowling, but we will make every effort to get you on the lanes. Read more…
Do you have bumper bowling?
Yes. We have manual bumpers installed on all 10 lanes. We do not provide the automated bumper system at this time. We also can rent out a mini-ramp, known as a dragon roller, for very young children, which helps them knock down more pins.
Do you take reservations for lanes?
If your party is over 10 people, we can take reservations for lanes, as long as it is not for or during our Xtreme Bowl or league bowling times.
Does everyone in our group need to pay to get in during Xtreme Bowl, even if they aren’t going to bowl?
Yes, they do. Due to the nature of Xtreme Bowl events, there is no way to track who has paid and who has not, so to keep things fun for everyone, we enforce this policy.
Do I have to wear bowling shoes?
Yes. Bowling shoes are specially made with soles on the shoes which allow bowlers to slide on the approach when throwing the ball. Shoes are available to rent for $1.79 plus tax.
I would like to hold a party at the center. Can I do that?
You bet! Parties at Thunder Strikes are memorable and fun for all ages. We have birthday party packages for all ages, and packages for corporate events. See details and book your party here. Cake and ice cream are allowed to be brought in, but must be kept in our party room.
What about pizza? Can you handle large orders and do you give discounts?
We offer pizza for dine in and carry out (call 620-675-8529 to order take-out). See our menu here. Also, ask the front desk for your loyalty card, and earn a free pizza for every 7 that you purchase!
We pride ourselves on being able to handle your order, no matter how large. If it’s really big, please give us advance notice. Orders of 15 or more pizzas are discounted to $8.50 per pizza. NOTE: discounted pizzas do not receive credit on our pizza card program.
Can we bring in our own food or drinks?
We do allow you to bring in cake and ice cream when celebrating that special day through a booked party at our center. They must be kept in our party room.
During your other visits, we encourage to try a delicious pizza or snack from our menu and always have soda, Icee drinks and beer on tap (and in bottles) to quench your thirst.
No outside food or drinks are allowed in the building, other than noted above.
Do you have a pro shop?
Yes, we offer all of the typical things you would find in a pro shop, from powder to shoes to bowling balls. Also, our staff will work with you to get your ball drilled the way you want, along with providing additional services, should they be needed.
Does Thunder Strikes sell gift cards?
Yes, we do! Gift cards may be used in any part of our center from food, beverage, to bowling along with the tax for any of these items. Buy them in person, or online here.
Do you offer private instruction or lessons?
Yes, we do. We have a USBC Bronze level certified coach on staff who is fantastic in coaching you, so that you can knock down more pins. We also have a 4-week program called Bowling 2.0 that is offered with our Bronze level coach. Enroll in coaching here.
What kind of equipment do you have?
We have Brunswick A machines, wood lanes, manual bumpers, and plenty of house bowling balls.
